Summary

Running Back Rank: #66All Players: #247

Helu had a sporadic role much of the season but eventually emerged as the go-to back before his season was cut short because of knee/toe injuries. Helu had three straight 100-yard games from Week 12-14. He also had a 100-yard receiving game in Week 9, showing his dual threat ability. Helu finished the season with 1,019 total yards and three touchdowns. Even when he wasn't getting the chances to run the ball, he was a big factor in the passing game, catching 49 passes. He'll be a big part of the offense whether he is starting or serving as a change-of-pace back in 2012. There is a good chance he gets the most chances of the Redskins' backs, though. He is a very talented player. Helu has good size and speed. He hits the hole in a hurry and can reach the next level quickly. He showed off his receiving skills last season and should only get better in this area.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Helu is a concern in the Redskins' offense as they have a history of rotating backs at running back but he clearly has the most upside of all the backs on the roster. He is a high upside pick as a top No. 3 back or even a low-end No. 2. He can get 1,200 total yards and six touchdowns in an even larger role this season.

Notes

The Washington Redskins have seven running backs on the roster right now, with only RB Alfred Morris guaranteed of a job in Washington this season. Based on the current roster, it appears RB Evan Royster will be battling Jawan Jamison, and RB Roy Helu Jr. will be battling Chris Thompson for the two running back spots behind Morris.
